The central theme of my interdisciplinary research is the emerging area of nanobiotechnology: the role of biomaterials in the intricate interplay between materials and biological systems. Such work is crucial for constructing materials with appropriate functionalities, biocompatibility, and biological applications. My research utilizes nanomaterials and soft materials to create novel biocompatible/biomimetic systems that have been demonstrated to be helpful in drug delivery and tissue engineering. I also focus on studying the properties of various nanomaterials for their use in cross-disciplinary fields, such as nanodentistry, heat transfer, and photocatalysis.

Materials informatics has significantly advanced materials science by harnessing data-driven approaches and machine learning techniques to expedite materials discovery and design. I use machine and deep learning algorithms to analyze vast datasets, predict nanomaterial properties, such as antibacterial activity, and explore complex relationships within materials systems. I am also interested in AI-driven simulations, enabling the discovery of novel materials with tailored characteristics that hold promising roles in areas like energy storage, electronics, healthcare, and sustainability.

The synergy between cancer biology, bioinformatics, and materials science has the potential to revolutionize cancer diagnostics and treatment. Cancer biology research is instrumental in developing targeted treatments that specifically interfere with the underlying molecular processes of different cancer types. Conversely, bioinformatics empowers researchers to identify cancer biomarkers, understand various cancers' genetic basis, and explore novel therapeutic targets. My current research is based on single-cell RNA sequencing, and I am also interested in indulging in cancer biology research to develop innovative materials and therapies.

I firmly believe that the progress of science is intrinsically linked to how it is communicated to a broader audience—no matter how groundbreaking the discoveries may be! To move science forward, it is not enough to merely generate data and conduct experiments; it is equally crucial to convey the significance and implications of these findings to the broader community crisply, engagingly, and enjoyably, which bridges the scientific community and the public, fosters an appreciation for science, and makes complex concepts accessible and relatable. I feel that most science literature is dull and hard to read, and thus, I focus on writing my research as engaging and enjoyable as possible. I also design 2D and 3D artistic images to draw attention and uphold readers’ interest.

In the long term, I aim to use my understanding of all the abovementioned fields and innovate effective point-of-care diagnostics with personalized screening abilities for different diseases, novel materials for precision medicine, and transformative solutions that enhance healthcare accessibility and patient outcomes.
